"http://rubygems.org">http://rubygems.org</a> use IPv6 may be
possible in the short term, RubyGems uses mirror sites to serve up
gems including Amazon AWS. At this time it's not possible to have
end-to-end IPv6 for downloading gems.</p>
<p>PS: I wish we could bring IPv6 quickly, I've had an IPv6 tunnel
at home for nearly nine years now.</p></div>Eric Hodeltag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/154388902012-04-21T13:46:53Z2012-04-21T13:46:53ZIPv6<div><p>Ok. In the meantime people can change the source in their gemrc
to: <a href=
"http://rubygems.org.sixxs.org">http://rubygems.org.sixxs.org</a>.
Good thing that gem/rubygems doesn't use SSL, otherwise this hack
wouldn't work.</p></div>Tomas Carneckytag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/154388902012-06-14T06:55:30Z2012-06-14T06:55:30ZIPv6<div><p>I had to resort to hacky workarounds when I recently set up a
IPv6-only box. My hosting provider supports native IPv6 - is it of
any help if I offer a v6 mirror? The way I see it, rubygems.org
currently doesn't have AAAA records; by adding one (and pointing it
to an IPV6 enabled machine) we could transparently add IPv6.</p>
<p>DISCLAIMER: I haven't done any read-up on how rubygems does its
mirroring.</p></div>Carsten Zimmermanntag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/154388902012-06-14T07:30:35Z2012-06-14T07:30:35ZIPv6<div><p>Re-closing, see my comment above.</p></div>Eric Hodel
